Silts can also be processed using solidification/stabilisation which produces a stable soil like material which can be used as an engineering fill or be disposed of at landfill.

Organic silts can also be bioremediated to removed hydrocarbons using windrows or composting.

Heavy metals and other inorganic contaminants cannot be bioremediated.

The company’s expertise has been developed through the ever-increasing need to remove and dispose of contaminated sediments in rivers, canals, lakes, lagoons and harbours.

Working closely with other group companies Land & Water Remediation has aninnovative approach to the application of specialist knowledge and plant to offer cost effective solutions to clients.

All of the specialised plant the company operates holds Environment Agency (EA) or Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) Waste Management Licences for mobile plant together with several UK and European patents for sludge and soil treatment.The licensed mobile plant enables us to provide on-site solutions using processes and plant already approved by the Environment Agency and SEPA.

On-site treatment reduces the time to mobilise and avoids or minimises disposal and transport costs.

To deliver treatment and reuse or disposal solutions, Land & Water Remediation owns and operates a number of highly specialised plants.

These include transportable soil & sludge treatment plants, excavator mounted mixers and screens andmodified plant, equipped with scrubbed air ventilation for the safe operation of equipment in hazardous environments.This can involve a variety of processes such as screening, sand and gravel separation using sand classifiers or hydrocyclones followed by mechanical dewatering using filter presses,belt presses or centrifuges to produce a dry stackable cake.

The production of dry stackable cake helps to overcome the problems of the landfill directive or landfill regulations in terms of the disposal of liquid wastes or sludges at landfill.
